Summary
The documentation for Microsoft Dev Box deployment is heavily oriented toward Windows environments. It exclusively references Windows device management (Intune), Windows-specific configuration profiles, and Windows privilege management. Examples of customization tasks mention Windows-centric tools (WinGet, Chocolatey, PowerShell scripts) without Linux equivalents. There is no mention of Linux VM images, Linux device management, or cross-platform developer scenarios, and all device management and security instructions assume Windows as the target OS.
Recommendations
- Explicitly mention support for Linux dev boxes, if available, and provide guidance for deploying and managing Linux-based dev boxes.
- Include examples of customization tasks for Linux, such as using apt, yum, or shell scripts, alongside Windows examples.
- Clarify whether Microsoft Intune can manage Linux dev boxes, and if not, suggest alternative management solutions for Linux.
- Provide instructions for creating and managing Linux VM images in Azure Compute Gallery, and note any differences in configuration.
- Discuss cross-platform developer scenarios (e.g., teams needing both Windows and Linux dev boxes) and how to accommodate them in Dev Box pools and projects.
- Balance references to Windows tools (WinGet, Chocolatey, PowerShell) with Linux equivalents (apt, yum, bash scripts) in setup catalogs and quick start guides.
